Krista suggestion sounds good to me - ask your stylist how to style at home. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849494 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 02:08:55 +0000 Thistle 849494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krista that could be the issue. I use the special protecting spray oil that the salon used and straighten it. I have lots of hair, but each strand is baby fine, so it is really easy to weight it down. It also likes to stand on end when I take my hat off! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849491 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 02:03:41 +0000 Krista 849491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the wrap tops on you - so fab!</p> <p>On the hair - I have to do a full blow out AND straighten my hair each day, so I can say that if you're not doing the full blow out and only using the straightener, that is probably what is causing the disconnect between what it looks like and what it looked like when you left the salon. The blow out creates the volume at the roots and the straightener makes everything smooth and shiny. I am actually wondering if you even need the straightener. If you're washing your hair at night and letting it dry on its own, you aren't using the heat of the blow dryer to create volume so your hair has its own volume, especially because it is thick (you say you have a lot of it). Using a straightener on hair that has little to no product that also hasn't been blowdried will just straighten the hair and it may look more flat or straight. If you just left it natural, would it have more voume?</p> <p>I would suggest speaking to your stylist about it the next time you see her. Explain to her that it's just not possible to do it the way she does and ask if she has suggestions. Maybe she doesn't realize that you do it differently from the way she is styling it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849424 Fri, 15 Feb 2013 00:23:06 +0000 catherine 849424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849294 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:53:59 +0000 unfrumped 849294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah, those pesky DH's.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849248 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:22:17 +0000 Echo 849248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the wrap dresses and tops on you; you look great. And your hair is very pretty - very full and healthy. Have you considered a fringe or a side-swept fringe? I think it would highlight your eyes, but it tends to be something people either really like or really dislike. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849237 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 20:12:31 +0000 Thistle 849237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I went much shorter, I think DH would cry </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849205 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:42:44 +0000 unfrumped 849205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At some point I'd like to see you go shorter (it's always fun to encourage someone ELSE to cut their hair!). Maybe shoulder length? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849180 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 19:12:21 +0000 rachylou 849180@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ya, seriously rocking this look!</p> <p>I am having the same problem with my hair cut. I think Anne is right re. body at the crown. My problem is making corkscrew curls. I don't think safe, organic mousse is gonna do it nor the round brushes I have left over from the last time I was doing curls. I'm tempted to tie my hair up in rag curls at night. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849144 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:36:53 +0000 Sarah A 849144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the wrap dress. I know what you mean about stylist hair that is why they are professionals! FWIW, I think my hair and yours have perhaps similar fine structure having a tendency to be a bit "flat" sometimes. This may sound silly... but when you flat iron instead to standing upright in the mirror and pulling down thereby flattening the crown, try putting your head upside down to add some fluff at the root. Might help?</p> <p>ETA: lol posted at the same time as Anne </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849142 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:34:30 +0000 Anonymous 849142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could use a little more body at the roots. Perhaps spritzing your hair with a bit of water in the morning, then blowdrying with a large round brush at the crown for some lift. What sort of product do you use?</p> <p>I'd love to see you with even more layers, like this:</p> <p>ETA: If you ever need a stylist recommendation, my SIL works at a downtown Milwaukee Aveda salon. She's great with color, too. She's a mom to two young boys and actually has super short hair, so she understands the need to have a low-maintenance style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849137 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:31:01 +0000 Transcona Shannon 849137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfit - wrap tops and dresses are your best friend Thistle!</p> <p>As for the hair, I always tease my stylist and ask if I can pop in on my way to work for him to style it 'cause it always looks better! I think your hair looks gorgeous FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849135 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:29:17 +0000 pil 849135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your wrap is terrific, as usual. Thistle, your hair looks really nice, although I can certainly relate to the feeling that it is just "off". Maybe better flat iron? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849129 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:22:43 +0000 Tina.b 849129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look just gorgeous in that wrap!</p> <p>As for the hair, it looks great. But, I know from experience that nobody can do a blowout better than a hairdresser. And flat ironing gives quite a different effect from a blowout. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849061 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:49:54 +0000 Thistle 849061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, she does a full blow out and then styles it. This keeps it extra straight. I bought the product she used on it, and I like it well enough, but I am not doing a full blow out.</p> <p>For me, I wash it at night (I have really bad allergies, and I shower at night to get everything off so I don't track allergens into bed). It is dry (well, mostly, I have a LOT of hair), and then i flat iron it.</p> <p>Just looking at pictures from when she did it and now, it doesn't look the same to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849049 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:41:40 +0000 Suz 849049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You and wraps? Made in heaven!!! </p> <p>And yes, curious about what feels different with your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849031 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:24:13 +0000 TraceyLiz65 849031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree a good stylist tells you what they are doing, if not you should ask detailed questions down to how they hold things and if that matters.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849023 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:20:14 +0000 Angie 849023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving you in your tried and tested wrap tops! </p> <p>How does your hair feel different to when the stylist did it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-849012 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:14:49 +0000 rae 849012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are rocking all those wrap tops and dresses! Your stylist should be teaching you how to style your cut... I agree that it's never 100% the same (at least for me, especially since I'm not used to the effort), but hopefully you can get it so you like it. I still think you look great, regardless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-848900 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:30:47 +0000 Sara L. 848900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your outfit is very flattering! The patterned wrap top looks good with the simple pants. Your hair looks nice to me but I have the same problems sometimes where it looks better when the stylist does it. Now I usually ask my stylist what's she's doing when she styles it and what kind of products she's using/recommends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-and-not-sure-on-this-new-haircut#post-848895 Thu, 14 Feb 2013 14:24:59 +0000 Thistle 848895@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Basic formula again today, all pieces you have seen before! Added a necklace from DH as it is Valentine's Day and I wanted something to think of him.</p> <p>Overall, I am not sure my new haircut is all that flattering. It looked great when the stylist did it, but not so sure about it when I am fixing it. </p>
